Two residential fires over the weekend displaced families, but no one was seriously injured, according to fire department authorities. Evans County Fire Chief Andy Sikes said a blaze around 6:45 p.m. Saturday on Turnpike Road sent one woman to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, but the other occupant escaped unharmed. The cause of the fire is yet unknown, and when firefighters from Evans County Fire and Rescue arrived, the mobile home was heavily involved, with damage to the kitchen, laundry room and a bedroom, he said.
